Albert Hammond Jr’s new record Francis Trouble is out now!

“Albert Hammond Jr. has spent the last half-decade making the most of a second chance. After clawing his way back from the cocaine, heroin, and ketamine habits that nearly cost him his life, the Strokes guitarist has churned out the most focused music of his solo career in 2013’s AHJ EP and his 2015 follow-up, Momentary Masters. His new full-length, Francis Trouble, was inspired by a lost twin who died in a miscarriage while Hammond continued to grow in utero. Reflecting on this family story led him to imagine the titular Francis, an energetic alter ego bearing the spirit of the sibling he never knew. It’s a creative rebirth that aligns with Hammond’s own new lease on life.” – Pitchfork
